Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 1

Day 01In your own space, talk about why you are doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge? What drew you to it as a participant? What do you hope to accomplish by doing these challenges?

Despite lurking for over a decade, I've only been actively contributing to fandom for about a year. In that year, I've made amazing connections with encouraging, talented, generous people, and worked on things that felt exciting and revealing and scary and important to me. I love fandom, I love the music and the words and the podfic and the art. Why wouldn't I want to flail about fannish things for fifteen days in excellent company? :)
